Well-known Christian author-speaker David Benham and gospel music artists Keith and Kristyn Getty will help launch a one-of-a-kind nationwide backyard movie event — capturing the imagination of thousands of lockdown-weary American families.<\/p>\n

The first-ever Backyard Movie Night and Campout, organized by boys\u2019 adventure group Trail Life USA (www.TrailLifeUSA.com<\/a>), will take place Saturday, May 16, with more than 12,000 self-isolating families across all 50 states expected to connect by a real-time video link right in their own backyards.<\/p>\n

Benham, best-selling co-author of Whatever the Cost<\/em> and\u00a0Living Among Lions<\/em>, will emcee the event — which follows Trail Life USA\u2019s first-ever National Backyard Campout on April 17, when more than 6,000 self-isolating families across all 50 states took part in a \u201cvirtual\u201d campout at home.<\/p>\n

The Gettys, best known for the modern hymn \u201cIn Christ Alone<\/em>,<\/em>\u201d will kick off the virtual movie night with an online musical performance, streamed live into backyards across the nation.<\/p>\n

With showings starting at 8:45 p.m. in each local time zone (ET, CT, MT, PT), Trail Life USA will live-stream The Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em>, produced by Revelation Media, which tells the story of one man\u2019s perilous and adventurous journey to reach heaven. It\u2019s based on the classic novel The Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em> written by John Bunyan, the second best-selling book of all time, surpassed only by the Bible.<\/p>\n

Any family can register for the backyard movie night on Trail Life USA\u2019s website (www.TrailLifeUSA.com\/Backyard<\/a>)<\/u> where they\u2019ll receive a free movie link and also find camping tips, outdoor recipes, and activity ideas contributed by thousands of Trail Life USA volunteers across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
